Chapter 234: The Test and the Sea Devil
Hahaha, big surprise!" Anthony looked at Evan who had boarded the battleship and immediately stepped forward and hugged him hard.
"What's the surprise? It's obviously a fright, okay! You didn't tell me anything in advance, it made me suspicious. After the greeting, Evan complained slightly.
By the way, I forgot to congratulate you, the first naval star in the kingdom, the youngest battleship captain, the benefits are really all taken by you. Awesome!
Anthony smiled, the good thing about the sudden attack is a surprise, and the bad thing is a fright. In Anthony's eyes, this incident is, of course, a downright good thing!
"Thank you, just in time!"
Evan didn't want to repeat the hardships and dangers he had to go through to get these benefits, so he just took Anthony's praise lightly.
"Okay, let's talk about it! With such a big battle, the secrecy work is too well done!" Although there was already speculation, Evan felt that he still had to listen to Anthony personally explain the specific situation.
Whoa, whoa, whoa—
After picking up Aven, the "Frost Sword" has already hoisted its sails and sailed to the depths of the sea.
By this time, Anthony was no longer selling.
"We're going to be developed, Aven!"
Sure enough, it was exactly as Evan had imagined. Now that Anthony has appeared here, he is still so mysterious, and the biggest possibility is that it has something to do with the "Song of the Siren" developed by the two of them before.
It's just that I didn't expect the level to be so high and the battle to be so big!
Nearly three months ago, when Evan was still hunting pirates on the sea.
With his authorization, Anthony assessed the value of the invention and initiated an emergency process to submit the final materials and samples to the Princeton principal.
However, even if the value of this invention has been overestimated as much as possible, the two people, who are only thinking from a tactical point of view, still do not realize the far-reaching impact that this thing could have on the situation at sea at a strategic level.
And the president of Princeton, who was reported by Anthony, was not the same as Her Majesty the Queen behind him.
How could a monarch who aspires to the vast seas ignore the threat of the "sea monsters", the rulers of the sea?
The sea monster is the de facto ruler of the sea, even if it is a "small species", as long as it knows how to restrain its extreme hatred of human instincts, and chooses to constantly launch sneak attacks from underwater, even if a battleship representing the pinnacle of human power has to scratch its head.
The sea has given sea monsters endless advantages, but it has also caused the passivity and powerlessness of human beings as terrestrial creatures.
However, the appearance of the "Song of the Siren" can reverse this situation that has been maintained for hundreds of years (the beginning of mankind's ability to sail to the sea) in one fell swoop!
Today is the day when the Kingdom sent an observation mission to select "Port Newinn" to verify the effects of "Song of the Siren" on the ground.
Of course, today is not the first day of experimental verification, and Evan can't be so coincidental.
Previously, after a half-month experimental cycle, after the experiments of aquatic demonized creatures, multiple aquatic demonized biotas, and small sea monsters, today Aven just caught up with the experiment on large sea monsters.
If it weren't for Aven, as the main inventor of the "Song of the Siren", at this critical moment that could affect the situation in the sea and the future of the kingdom, it would not have been possible to risk leaking the secret and specifically transfer him from the Third Fleet.
The test site did not actually go too far into the sea, and the "Frost Sword" only sailed normally for an hour and a half before arriving at the specially selected location.
After all, it is unlikely that the delicate and expensive masters of the observation group will follow the fleet into the far sea to find wild sea monsters for experiments, especially when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in the observation group!
So.
As the Frost Sword approached the preset proving ground, Evan immediately heard a sound like a whirlpool stirring in the thickening white mist.
Whoa, whoa
It's like a behemoth struggling and tumbling beneath the surface of the water in front of it.
Subsequently.
"Click, click, click"
A mechanical sound suddenly sounded from Aven's pocket, and Aven immediately took out the "Sea Monster Hands" from his pocket that he had traded from Anthony before he left "Port Newin" last time.
Opening the silver flap, a gem-like green hand turns in the middle of the complex mechanical dial with a continuous click, finally stopping at one o'clock.
That direction is also the direction in which the "Frost Sword" is heading!
As for the source of the strange fog on the sea, Aven no longer had any doubts in his heart.
Sea fog is an innate ability of many sea monsters, just as natural as breathing. To be able to accumulate such a large area of dense fog, in addition to the size of the sea monster is large enough, it must have "stayed" in this sea area for a long time.
He didn't even need the guidance of the "sea monster pointer", Ai Wen had encountered three sea monsters and had enough samples to compare. After transforming the meditation method, his more and more acute senses allowed him to distinguish the unique smell of the sea monster in the fog by his sense of smell!
The saltiness of sea salt has a very special sour and rotten fishy smell, although it is not obvious, but it cannot escape Aiwen's microscopic identification.
Soon, the battleship reached its designated position, and the ship's yellow bright signal lights (alchemical appliances) flashed through the fog a few times, and then about ten kilometers apart in the other three directions, and soon there were also flashing lights to give feedback.
There are a total of four signal lights, representing four warships that are at least of the rank of battleship of the second class.
As a qualified Navy captain, Evan knew it was a one-minute countdown.
"It's on!" Anthony exclaimed excitedly, he had been watching several previous experiments, and he was already familiar with the process.
At the end of the minute, in the last ten seconds, the signal lights in the westernmost direction near the open sea began to blink again, once per second.
The yellow light pierced through the fog and was visible to all.
Eight, seven, six, three, two, one
Click-
The sound of some kind of shackle breaking.
In the middle of the sea surrounded by four battleships, there was a roaring wave that began to surge violently, as if a behemoth had finally broken free from its restraints and began to swim underwater at high speed.
The direction indicated by the "sea monster pointer" in Aiwen's hand was constantly changing, indicating that the sea monster was heading straight for the warship on the far west side of the sea. As a large species, the deep sea is its real home turf.
However, after half a month of experiments, the navies on the warships have long been familiar with it and methodically switch signals.
Evan could see that everything the navy was doing now was simulating actual combat, and they did not use any power of witchcraft except for the initial restraint of the sea monster.
"Aven, pay attention, it's time to activate the 'Song of the Siren'!"
From the position of the warship to the west, an invisible wave pierced through the sea, spreading rapidly through the water, and then spreading far away.
Really.
The first thing that reacted to the infrasound waves in this limited frequency band was the huge creature underwater, as if it had been hit in the head, and it immediately turned its direction underwater and rushed due north.
Soon the signal lights in the north also began to flash, and the "Song of the Siren" over there also began to start, not only him, but also the "Song of the Siren" on the warships in the four directions of the southeast, north, and west.
At the same time, the "Frost Sword" began to move slowly, and together with the other three warships, it continued to compress the space for the underwater sea monster to operate.
While testing this new type of alchemy tool, they are constantly searching for the best tactical applications.
As with previous experiments, this time the "Song of the Siren" did not disappoint the navies.
However, in less than a minute, the underwater sea monster finally couldn't resist the vicious attack of the infrasonic waves straight into the viscera, and the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made it jump out of the water on its own initiative.
Boom –
A huge monster wielding dozens of black and red stout wrists and feet smashed through the fog of the sea and appeared before the eyes of the navy.
Far larger than a battleship, its dancing wrists and feet set off huge waves, and every inch of its black and red skin is frantically releasing hideous, terrifying, frenzied, and invincible signals, which makes people look at it with fear!
For those who cannot overcome their fears, they may suffer from incurable deep-sea phobia just by looking at them, and they will never dare to enter the sea again.
This is the survival instinct that is carved into the blood of mankind!
"Ahh!!h
Although the name is Sea Devil, it is not actually a devil from hell. In fact, it is a giant red-black octopus with a huge black shell like pig iron growing in the middle of the brain, which just protects the fragile nerve center.
The fact that the large sea monster with both carapace and tentacles all shows that this is a family member of the mother of the sea monster, Urketo!
I don't know which high-level transcendent captured it and brought it here.,It became an experiment in the "Song of the Siren".
